Hi,
After uploading some pics of my Bee Balm blooms (Monarda 'Grand Marshall') I noticed this insect on one of them . Since Monarda is a favorite of Bees, Butterflies and Hummingbirds, I'm guessing (hoping?) it might be a beneficial pollinator of some sort, but didn't have any luck finding it in BugFiles.

Various members have helped me in the past to identify "unknown-to-me" insects. I would appreciate any info you can give me.

Here are a couple of pictures.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
